Honey you are all that I need.

Honey you are all that I need.

Often I look in the mirror.
The man looking back at me.
Is one that often shakes his head.
Why did you do that?
Why did you do this?
Sometimes it tells me what a fool I am too.
The reflection has often had disappointment.
A life not quite fulfilled to expectations.
Dreams left as faded hopes.
Laughter often replaced by tears.
Desire replaced by fears.
Life is what you make of it they say.
Life is what I didn’t make of it I say.
More often than not I came up a little short.
Not because I couldn’t.
But because I just didn’t.
I didn’t believe in that reflection.
I didn’t believe in that boy.
So many chances.
So many misses.

Let me tell you one thing though honey.
I hit the bulls eye with you.
A day a dream a hope a prayer.
I have you.
Nothing compares to you.
Not a single soul.
I trust nobody more.
I love nobody more.
I believe in nobody more.
There were others.
Pain I caused you.
Let it be known that I belong to you.
Heart, mind, body, and soul.
Nobody could ever compare to you.
My best friend, my confidant, my motivator, my shoulder to cry on, my lover.
You are on in a million, no make that a trillion.
There simply is no replacing you.
It can’t be done.

Often in the mirror when my reflection causes me doubt.
All it takes is one thought of you.
To wipe away the sadness and bring back joy.
You are the one thing I don’t question.
The one thing I don’t regret.
The one thing that is always better than the rest.
Honey you simply are the best.
